I am not a Forgie at all, and I do not think GNS labels are very useful. The taxonomy I am using has two categories:- Fantasy wargames: Explore the world, resolution is realistical and simulation-based- Storytelling RPGs: Explore a story, resolution is dramatic and trope-basedObviously, a storytelling game can be rules-heavy and mechanistic, and it can certainly meet the GNS definition of a genre-simulation game. But even the Forge doesn't use GNS anymore. GNS could never really get a grip on immersion, and of course, when we are talking about the job of the GM, we are precisely talking on the immersive experience of the player.</blockquote>
